Hi Marilyn, I glad that this info was helpful. What was the most helpful to support you in making your decision?

No there wasn't anything that didn't mix well. Everyone digest and medication responses are different

You are welcome Trudy. How did it go for you?

Hi Chantal thank you for watching 👀 the videos. What do you relate to the most?

Thank you for watching this video and sharing your comment. I've now been living with MS for almost 14 years diagnosed and I'm doing much better mentally.

Heidi, I am excited for 🎉 that you are preparing for an Alinker. I love the commitment you are to yourself to prepare for this exciting mew way of moving around in the world.

Veronica you are most welcome. What has helped the most?

You're welcome. Do plan to take it?

@@WomenThrivingwithMS in a few days, I’ll start my 2nd treatment of the first year.

How do you feel about doing year two?

THANK you so much have been following you since I started MAVENCLAD MOTIVATION THANK YOU MAAM

Hi Erica thank you for watching the video and sharing your story and experience with me and those who read the comments. It sounds like Vyvanse has been life changing for you so far. 🎉

Thank you for watching the video and sharing your experience.

That's interesting. H9w often does this happen?

Wow Lynn. 🎉 That's a big milestone. 😉 Congratulations.

@@WomenThrivingwithMS thankyou 😊

Hi Jennifer, thank you for sharing your experience and watching this video. I'm hoping you get answers as to a diagnosis. Vertigo sucks. I take meclizine which really helps me.

I was originally given Meclizine, but it made me dizier. I was told by my neurologist that it's due to the 3-4 black holes in my pons/brain stem. It's worse when I'm super tired and I feel best sitting in a reclining position, talk about becoming a couch potato! Thanks for caring.😊

What is your milestone for the year?

Let me know how it goes Heather. Thank you for watching the video.

Hello thank you for watching the mavenclad video. I tool tecfidera for two years. I have a video about my experience on this YT channel.

Hi Susan. Sorry for the delay in my reply. I sure appreciate you sharing your experience here in the comments. I'm glad my videos have lifted your spirits. It means a lot to me to read your words and expressions of appreciation. 💜 Keep me posted on your second year of treatment. 🌞

Thank you for watching the video and sharing your experience. I know several women who are on the Ocervus and seem happy with the treatment. I don't have any experience with Ocervus.

Thank you for watching the video. Great question. It will depend on each person. It took about 5 to 6 months in year one for me. What I found out this year is that you want your immune system to stay on the low side as there is less chance that MS will attack. This is what a pharmacist told me for year two. This means keeping your lymphocytes in the low range from 1 to 4.

​@@WomenThrivingwithMS I appreciate the valuable information. I will make a note. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

You are most welcome. Wishing you the best with your Mavenclad treatment. Feel free to share how it goes. ✨️

Say more about this Matty.

It can be a tough decision balancing prevention vs. side effects. Glad the video helped you to find clarity in your choice. I'm not a doctor so my experience is about my choice. ❤

Thanks for watching the video and sharing. How are you doing. It can be shocking. Give yourself permission to have ALL of your feelings. 💜

@@WomenThrivingwithMS I’m hanging in there. I’m researching everything I can so I can fight this. I’ve got relapsing and remitting and the steroids have helped me a lot. So far that’s all I’ve done for it. I have Lyrica but I’m afraid to take it. I’m so scared of everything

Thank you. I enjoy watch your video too!

Wow. How's it going?

Thanks Jennifer fir watching the video and sharing that yiu are newly diagnosed. It sounds like you are being proactive in exploring what will be best for you to prevent MS progression. I hope you secure a conversation with the MS nurse soon. I had to wait 3 months to meet with my neurologist after leaving the hospital after I was diagnosed.

Hi Gloria thank you watching this video and sharing your own experience. It so important to find the best way to increase our energy. We all have our own preferences. I appreciate you sharing what has and does work best for you. 💜

For me Cbd gummies or smoke drink give me sleeps and it no helps me because I need energy I pour in my arms or legs and help me with my pain I hope it helps.

Hi Louisa glad the video helped take your fear away. I hope your Mavenclad treatment goes well. I am at month 8 of year two now. I took a 3 year break in between. Feel free to watch other videos to continue to support you. 💜

That's a tough situation to be. What country are you currently living in and what are their policies regarding low income and medications?

I'm here, in Central California.

@angelbabycards3558 you might consider calling the MS Society in your city or state and asking if they can give you information.

Umm, I used to be the Branch Services Coordinator for National MS, here in my town.. Yes, alot has changed. Treatment is typically handled by ones PCP. Because 'they still do not really know enough. They simply refer you to an ENT, .....and when on Medi-Cal, treatment if possible, is rather slow..

Honestly, what I specifically wanted to know, was if you know, exactly what I need to do to begin taking what you are taking, here in California, and if the meds are covered by Med-Cal......??

Hi Shawn thank you for sharing you thoughts and experience. It's understandable you would rather live without an illness. I hear you. 💚 What if you started to view the cane as your best friend now?

Hello thank you for the greetings from Argentina. How'd it go with your first day? Glad this video helped you. 🤩

@@WomenThrivingwithMS It's only been 1 hour since my first 2 pills. I hope everything turns out well. Thank you!

@@gldiego keep us posted. Jen

Thank you KR for watching this video and your encouraging comment. 😊

What do you mean you are losing it? I'm glad to hear your husband is a wonderful persona ND caretaker. That is so important to living your best life possible with MS. The grief of losing your own abilities and not feeling able to see others you care about can be heartbreaking. Sending you lots off love as you navigate the ups and downs of your emotions dealing with day to day life. You matter and you are important.

Thank you for making this content. Very grateful for other's validation of MS experience. It's difficult to explain to friends and family about daily psychological struggles

@@KR-ie5rg So true that it is hard to difficult to communicate or explain your experience of living with MS to friends and family. That's why I developed the Feeling Understood Masterclass. www.womenthrivingwithms.com/offers/FbooZZa3

Thank you for taking the time to type even though you do not have enough energy. Pain makes managing like more challenging. I admire you for your effort. 💜

Thank you for watching the video and commenting.

Goodbpoinr Flora. Thank you for watching 👀 the video and sharing your perspective.

Thank you for watching the video and sharing your perspective.

Hi Gwen sounds like you are managing many things to make your body feel as comfortable as possible. I commend you on your efforts. Exercise can be very empowering and good for mental health. How about starting with just 5 minutes a day. Like any habit for example brushing your teeth, it can become part of your day to day routine. 🌻🎯

Yes it can be. It was for me. I've heard that is not the case for everyone through the Mavenclad for MS Facebook group.

Yes it is nor mal from my experience and some others I know too.

@@WomenThrivingwithMS Will fatigue continue to persist in it

I mean, the fatigue will be compatible with approximately how long

@ahlamessaadani7975 it was 5 to 9 months for me.

Hi Becky wow sounds similar for sure. Maybe another MRI in a year would be a good idea 💡. I've heard of others where nothing shows up but does later. I hope it passes for you or they find out what else it good be. Thank you for sharing your experience. 💜

Thanks for sharing and watching the video. 🤩

You know what's best for you and what works best for you. That's what most important. 🤩

I don't know. I'm not a doctor. My videos are about my experience living with MS. 💜

ALS is sooooooo under researched that doctors does it even know what causes it or what is it. So how can anyone in right mind find medication for something that don't know what is it? Unless you like this 23 year old female I knew where her family just knew that organic diet is better for her that chemo. She died very organically conscious at 23.

Thank you for watching the video, Michelle. Wishing you well with your conversation with the doctor today. 🤩

@@WomenThrivingwithMS I'm going to take Mavenclad.

@@MichelleSears hiw do you feel about your decision?

@@WomenThrivingwithMS I feel optimistic about it. I’ve been diagnosed for about 13 years now and I’ve only been on Copaxone. I want to be done giving myself shots!

Hi Diane, know that you are doing the best you can while dealing with fatigue. I hope the medication works for you. It's better to be walking with a device than not walking. Keep it up. Moving your body uses energy and gives you energy. It's also so important for your mental health. 🤩

Diane how are your doing? Thank you for watching the video.

You can still get MS in your 60’s???? 😢 or have you lived with it and not known it since you were 20-40 years old?

Diagnosed at 54 on Kesimpta … fog & fatigue are real but feel pretty good overall! Nature & exercise help me most !

Thank you for sharing Marie that you have experienced this too. I appreciate your comment. 💜
